The word mystery originally comes the Greek verb 'muein' ('to perceive a hidden characteristic of a reality, or its functioning) through Latin 'mysterium', which itself technically derives from the past participle of the aforementioned verb - mustês (substantively designating an 'insider').

The root is generally considered to be myst- , as in mystify, mystic, mystical and mysticism.
